Note: The dates of death on this stone are inconsistent with the following death notices published at that time, indicating that Mrs. John Wallace died before her husband.

Wallace, John, Mrs. John, and child: We regret to chronicle the sad death of Mrs. John Wallace and an infant babe which occurred at the family home, south of town Monday morning. Mr. Wallace and another child were very sick at that time, but both are reported better now. (Randolph Herald, Feb. 12, 1903, p. 1) Three Within a Week.—The death of Mrs. John Wallace and babe last week was followed by the husband, John Wallace, who died last Monday morning. The deceased was about 50 years of age and had been a resident of county for many years. He was a member in good standing of Pocahontas Lodge No. 93, K. of P. [Knights of Pythias] and carried $2000 insurance in the endowment rank, which will go to his children, of whom there are eight, the eldest being a boy about 15 years of age. (Randolph Herald, Feb. 19, 1903, p. 1).
